At a glance


Module-specific help:

Help! I installed Inkycal but my E-Paper is not showing anything


Sorry to hear that. You can get more detailed answers on Discord, but try the following first:

  • Double check you have selected the correct e-paper model from the web-ui. If you are in doubt, double check the resolution of the E-Paper display
  • Issue with wiring, e.g. Ribbon cables. Please double check if everything is connected properly. If in doubt, use Discord to ask for help.

Debugging help


Inkycal logs events and errors on both the console and a log file.

Inkycal can be run manually with:

cd $HOME && source/venv/bin activate 
python3 inky_run.py

which will show logs and errors directly.

The log file can be found here:

Inkycal/logs/inkycal.log
